MACHINE FOR PEGG-ING SOLES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 20, 1916.

Application filed April 7, 1914. Serial No. 830,148.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, TADEUSZ VON RYGH- TER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and residing at lVars-aw, Russia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements 1n Machines for Pegging Soles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention'relates to machines for pegging soles of shoes and the like, and a primary object is to provide an improved machine in which holes are made in the sole by an awl and immediately thereafter pegs cut off from a strip of wood are driven into the holes by means of a hammer, provision being made at the same time by means of a double feed for shifting the sole in the required manner, it being necessary only to press the shoe with the sole to be pegged thereon against the lower part of the machine by hand while the machine is working.

One illustrative embodiment of my invention is represented by way of example in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, partly in section, and Fig. 3 a horizontal section taken on the line A-B in Fig. 2, showing a preferred form of my improved machine; Figs. & and 5 are front and side elevations, respectively, showing part of the lower part of the machine on an enlarged scale; Fig. 6 is a side elevation of a part of the feed mechanism, and Fig.7 is a horizontal section showing the needle guide and the blade which cuts the pegs; Fig. 8 is a diagram showing the arrangement of pegs in the sole, Fig. 9 is an elevation partly in section showing the serrated plates for feeding the sole in their position while the pegs are being knocked in, Fig. 10 is a like view of these plates during the feed of the sole, Fig. 11 is a plan view of the plates, partly in section, and Fig. 12 is a plan view of the guide of the hammer.

Referring to the drawings, a shaft 2 which can be driven either by a motor or by a hand-crank 3 and a flywheel l is journaled in the frame 1, and its motion is transmitted by means of two pairs of gear wheels 5, 6 and 5, 7 to two shafts S and 9. The shaft 8 carries on its front end the driving mechanism for driving the awl for making the holes in the sole, and for the hammer for driving the pegs into the holes. To this end, an anti-friction roller 11 is mounted on a crank 10 fast on the shaft 8. This roller 11 runs in a loop 12 carrying above a Preferrangement of the loop 12 the rod 14L is compelled to move vertically up and down. The

' shaft 8 also carries an eccentric 16 which has on part of its periphery a projecting rim or guide wall 17. An anti-friction roller 19 mounted on a hammer carrier 20 coacts with this guide wall or rim, and a second antifriction roller 21 likewise carried by the hammer carrier 20 coacts with the periphery of the eccentric. The hammer carrier 20 is guided in suitable manner in the frame of the machine by anti-friction rollers 20, 20 and guide .walls 20 (Figs. 1 and 12), and as clearly shown in Fig. 5 the hammer proper 23, which has a slanting face 25 and runs out into a slender portion 24, is pivotally connected to the carrier at 22. When the lower end of the rim 17 coacts with the roller 19, then, as will be seen from Fig. 1, the hammer carrier 20, and the hammer 23 are driven vertically upward until the roller 19 arrives within reach of the circular part of the rim 17 The slanting face 25 of the hammer 23 strikes against the guide 18, and as the hammer 23 is pivoted at 22 it is deflected to the left, as indicated in Fig. 5, and the slender portion 24, which was in -alinement with the guide of the and, is

moved out of thepath of the awl. At the upper end of the rim 17 the hammer 28 can fall down and is pressed downward by the roller 21 which coacts with the periphery of the eccentric. The pointed portion 24 then enters into the aperture through which the awl has previouslypassed. The awl and the cutter are influenced in such manner that just when the awl is at its highest point the hammer occupies its lowest position.

As already mentioned, the rotary movement of the shaft 9 is imparted by the pair of gear wheels 5, 7 to the shaft 9. By means of the pinion 26 a gear wheel 27 is rotated by which a pair of bevel-gears 28,

29 is influenced at the same time. The bevelgear 29 is mounted on a vertical shaft 30 which is journaled in suitable manner and possesses a lug 31 which acts on a ratchetwheel 32 in such manner that this wheel is moved forward one tooth each revolution of the shaft 30, while a pawl 33 prevents the ratchet-wheel moving too far. The moveonrien.

larger one the speed at which the strip of.

wood is fed can be increased, so that pegs of various thickness can be cut off in the manner which will now be described.

For th e purpose of cutting the strip of wood into pegs a cam 40 is adjustably keyed on the shaft 8 and a cam 41 is mounted in like manner on the eccentric l6. Mounted to rock on the frame of themachine at 42 isa lever 43 which coacts in such manner with the cams 40, 41 that one end thereof is tilted to the right bythe cam 41 and to the left by the cam 40. The other end of the two-armed lever is connected by means of a pivotal joint to one end of a slide 44 which is driven to and fro by the lever 43 and is provided at its other end with a blade 45.

. The strip of wood isfcut'at a suitable mo- I zigzag in the sole.

ment by the blade 45 and is fed toward the path of the awl by means of the face 46. The individual operations follow one another in such manner that a hole is first made by the awl15 in the sole 47 and while the and is moving upward the peg out off the strip of wood is inserted into the path of the awl and is afterward driven by the point 24 of the hammer into the hole.

As shown in Fig.8 the pegs are arranged In order to do this in this machine it is necessary for the sole to have imparted to it a twofold movement,

' i. aa'forward movement and a movement 7 at right angles thereto- This is effected by means of the mechanism which will now be described with reference to Figs. 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11. Rigidly attached to the bottom end of the guide 18 for the needle is a roughened or serrated plate 48, against which the sole 47. is pressed by hand, it being secured in position owing to the rough nature of the plate 48. When a peg has been knockedin it is necessary for the sole to be shifted automatically. This is effected by means of; a slide 49 which can move to and fro in a guide 50 provided in the frame of the machine. This slide carries a roughened or serrated plate 51 which is so con' for this purpose in the slide 49, while the slide 49 itself caneXecute only a reciprocatory motion in the direction of the arrows A and B and the member 51 must participate in this movement.

. in the slide 49.

Fast on the slide 49 is a hook-shaped member 53 whose one end is suspended by means of springs 54 from the frame of the machine. By means of these springs this hook 53 and with it the slide 49 and the serrated plate 51 are held in an elevated position. The said reciprocating motion in the direction of the arrows A and B is brought about by means of an anti-friction roller 58 mounted on a crank 55. The crank 55 is turned by a shaft 56 driven by means of the gear wheels 57, 26 by the pinion 7. In consequence of the shape of the inner wall of the hook 53 the slide 49 is shifted by the roller 58 against the action of the springs 54 in the direction of the arrow A. The slide 49 returnsinto its original position under the action of the springs 54, this movement being regulatable by the pins 59which can be inserted more or less in lugs 60 and abut against the fixed faces 61 of the 'uide, the lugs 60 being rigidly connected with the slide. Owing to the to and fro movement of the slide 49 in the direction of the arrows A and B the serrated plate 51 is compelled to move in the same manner. In addition, as mentioned above, owing to pivot 52 it can move at right angles thereto. This transverse movement is derived from the main shaft 2 by means of a cainway 62 which the one end of a two armed lever 63 takes. The other. end of this lever is pivotally connected to one end of aslide 64 carrying at its other end'a pin 65 which takes into the serrated member 51. In consequence of the cam 62 the slide 64 has imparted to it a reciprocatory motion at rightangles to the arrows A and B and drives the serrated member 51 with it in this direction, and the lug 52 slides in a slot As the member 51 must execute two movements, as already mentioned, the aperture for the pin 65 in the member 51 is made elongated. The serrated member 51 must be firmly pressed against the sole at a suitable moment. This is effected by means of a two-armed lever 66 whose one end carries an anti-friction roller 67 which presses the member 51 downward, while the other end is influenced by a cam 68 fast on the shaft 56.

The described feed mechanism for the sole operates as follows: The sole 47 is firmly pressed against the fixed serrated plate 48 and against a roller 69 mounted on the slide 64, as shown in Fig. 9. As long as the sole is held by hand against the plate 48 it cannot be moved forward. During this time a hole is made in the sole in the manner described above and the peg is then driven by the hammer 23 into the hole. At this moment the awl is located in its highest position and begins to move downward, while the hammer moves upward. The serrated plate 51 is now pressed downward against the sole by the roller 67 under the lnfluence of the cam 68, so that the sole is removed from the plate 4-8, as shown in Iiig. 10. The slide 49 moves in the direction of the arrow A under the simultaneous influence of the roller 58, and therefore drives the sole in the same direction. As the plate 51 is lifted at the same time by the springs 54: the sole again bears firmly against the stationary plate 48, while the slide 49 automatically returns into its original position. By this time the awl has moved downward and the second hole is made. As the holes are to be made zig-zag,

as shown in Fig. 8, the plate 51 is simulta-- neously shifted under the influence of the slide 6 f at right angles to the arrow A while the slide 49 and the plate 51 are moved in the direction of this arrow, so that the sole moves in a direction resulting from both these movements and consequently the awl makes holes staggered in the sole. It follows from the above that it is only necessary to tend to press the sole a7 constantly against the plate I8, whereby the sole is antomatically guided in a zig-zag line by the plate 51. In consequence of the provision of the roller 69 all'the holes are made at predetermined distances from the edge of holes in a sole pressed against the frame,
